L'Osmanthe, the French-Asian pastry that revisits the classics

It's a real neighborhood nugget that deserves to be discovered. In the 12th arrondissement of Paris, between Daumesnil and Michel Bizot, at the corner of two discreet lanes, the Osmanthe patisserie awaits gourmands to introduce them to its original creations. This address is the brainchild of Fang, a passionate pastry chef whose recipes offer a harmonious blend of French patisserie and Asian flavors. And guess what? We fell in love!

Fang surprises us with classics skilfully revisited in his own way. His favorite creations include Symphonie, his ultra-gourmand version of opera with matcha green tea, salted butter caramel and almonds, his Saint-Honoré and sesame éclair, and his mille-crêpes in two recipes: green tea or praline chocolate.

Fine, lightly sweetened pastries with a fine balance of flavors await us here. These include such novel creations as Fei, a creamy green tea, azuki (red bean) compote with coconut milk and caramel; Mini Tasha, an elegant lychee-based pastry topped with an edible rose petal; and even a trompe-l'œil durian cake.

As you can see, this is an address well worth a visit!
